We need more details. Do you have the latest drivers? Have you updated your BIOS? Going back to windows 7 will probably not fix your problem. What have you tried already?

I would install the latest stable driver if you are using a beta one right now. Windows 8.1 shouldn't be the problem imo.

I have tried downloading from Sapphire website. Although they say it fully supports win8/8.1

What do you mean by crashing (driver crashes in windows or games/applications crashing)? Have you tried other games to see if it crashes and what kind of errors pop up?
